Is it possible to say what this is? I found two specimens in rocks near the sea. They are smaller than Canace nasica.

Ephydridae, I'd say

I'd agree with Paul - looks like Scatellini - I'd be pleased to look at a specimen if no-one comes up with an answer.

Thank you Paul and Tony!
Tony, I will save them for you. In fact, if you are interested, I have many ephydrids for you to identify.:)
